Super manicured trail with bridges over any all mildly difficult terrain. The trail parking can be a challenge (the "barn" lot is easier than the small trailhead lot).
In addition to the manicured trails, there are some social trails which lead to the vineyards on...More

This 2-mile pathway up to Monticello provides a nice walk through woods on a trail that is part raised boardwalk and part wide path. The Trail is well cared for and broad with enough space to explore and observe things in the woods.

great place to take in some fresh air, bring the kids, dogs, strollers, older family members, etc. it is fairly even with paved roads and well-maintained graveled roads. there are many off-shoots to take more aggressive, steeper hikes. there are stunning old growth trees, some...More

This path looks amazing. Read the reviews and decided we would park in the Dairy Barn lot and walk to Monticello to see the grounds. We had our two dogs with us. I noted that some trails are not open to pets. Fine, no mention...More

If you want an easy walk through paved trails and wooded sidewalks, this 4 mile round trip trail is for you. It's a popular trail on the weekends, as we found out, because at the end of the trail is Monticello, the home of Thomas...More

This is a popular trail, so parking can be difficult on weekends. It follows a pretty route, through the woods all the way to the Monticello Visitor Center. Along the way, smaller trails lead off to interesting woods, views, and a pond.

We enjoyed hiking this trail. It was conveniently located right off the interstate. The trail was fairly easy to walk, and took about 2 hours round trip, including multiple stops to enjoy the sites, while keeping at a leisure pace.

This is a lovely and peaceful trail that is well worth visiting. There is a convenient parking lot that can get filled on a weekend, but you can park along the highway. The first half of the walk is uphill, but is a gentle rise....More

I spent a lovely afternoon hiking up the mountain. I quickly reached a point at which my dog was no longer welcome to continue on the boarded path and so we ventured off of the path to a road less traveled and had a simply...More

I haven't been there today, but you can park either in the small parking lot near the entrance, or around the corner off of Route 20 (Dairy Barn Rd). The normal trail "paved" should be good. The upper trails are a bit muddy.

Yes, there are places to rent bikes to ride on the Saunders-Monticello Trail. Close places to the trail are Blue Ridge Cyclery and Community Bikes. If you do not want to ride from the bike rental place to the trailhead so you can then ride up the trail, you ought to be able to engage an Uber XL to carry you and bike to trailhead. Be sure to check the Saunders-Monticello Trail website to make sure the trail is clear. A fallen tree destroyed part of the trail boardwalk earlier in the summer; it should be repaired by now.
